As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love (15:9)

We are in the central Chapter of the Last Discourse of Jesus, as recorded by St. John. Here we find ourselves at the heart of the teaching of Jesus, of his life, of his mission. In these sublime words, so full of consolation for us, Jesus as it were opens for us a window into his own heart, and into the heart of God.
